DAC08ESZ

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC08ESZ is an 8-bit monolithic digital-to-analog converter from Analog Devices, designed for high-speed multiplying applications. It features a settling time of 85 ns and supports direct interfacing with TTL, CMOS, ECL, HTL, and PMOS logic families. The device offers complementary current outputs with high output impedance and compliance ranging from -10 V to +18 V. It operates on a wide power supply range of ±4.5 V to ±18 V, consuming low power (33 mW at ±5 V). Nonlinearity is limited to 0.1% maximum over the temperature range, and full-scale current drift is specified at ±10 ppm/°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ESZ' against the official Analog Devices datasheet to confirm package type and RoHS compliance status. Check for obsolescence or lifecycle changes as older DAC08 variants may have different availability. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for industrial or military-grade requirements if applicable.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-bit resolution with high-speed multiplication capability is required. The DAC08ESZ is suitable for systems needing direct logic interface without additional level shifters. Consider the ±10 V to +18 V compliance voltage range for load driving capabilities. Verify that the 85 ns settling time meets the system's bandwidth requirements.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The DAC08 series represents a family of 8-bit multiplying D/A converters known for speed and flexibility. The DAC08ESZ is a specific variant within this lineage, maintaining the core performance characteristics of the original DAC08 while adhering to modern packaging standards. It serves as a foundational component in mixed-signal designs requiring precise digital-to-analog conversion.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC0800LCMX/NOPB by Texas Instruments is a functional equivalent offering similar 8-bit resolution and multiplying architecture. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications such as settling time and supply voltage ranges before substitution.
